Our Shipping Rate Calculator:

The AuctionInc Shipping UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS Rate Calculator provides the most comprehensive shipping calculations available today. You can use our shipping calculators anywhere on the Internet, including your website, web store, auction listing, or even classified listings. Shoppers can then choose from the shipping methods you offer along with the ability to combine shipping, include flexible handling charges, and calculate insurance and taxes if necessary. Shipping is no longer a burden to the bottom line but an asset to growing your business.

Flexible Handling Fees:

While most other shipping calculators have you increase the weight of your item so you may include a handling charge, we at Paid have designed well-planned and flexible handling fee management. Not only can you add a handling fee at an order level, a package level and carrier service level but you may also associate unique charges or fees with a specific item. Fees can be set to a fixed rate and/or percentage, and you can also set fee minimums and maximums.

Insurance Fee Management:

Insurance fees protect both the buyer and seller, and our system provides the capability for you to make insurance either mandatory or optional during the checkout process. You may also bypass the carrier insurance fees and substitute your own 3rd party insurer, (P.I.P., U-Pic), passing on all or part of these savings to your customers if you choose.

Carrier Specific Accessorial Services

Carriers have a variety of special services that add additonal fees, and our calcluator allows you to account for these special features. Included in this category are fees for uniquely sized or hazardous items, various Proof of Delivery and Signature Required services, and a host of others specific to particular carriers. A sampling:

Hazardous Items

Use this service to indicate that the item is considered a hazardous material. The carriers access an additional fee for handling hazardous materials. Each carrier has their own classification of what materials are hazardous. (You should check with your carrier before shipping these types of items.)

Proof of Delivery

The P.O.D. service is used to receive physical proof of delivery from the recipient by the carrier. The carriers may offer various mediums by which the document is delivered.

Signature Required

The Signature Required service is used to instruct the carrier to obtain the recipient's signature.
